MNS- The Victorian women’s gardens
In the Victorian era, women were confined to the domestic life. They were not allowed to experience wilderness and nature, and were confined and kept from the true freedom that can come from being outside. This reminds me of how we can so often feel like this even when we are not domestic housewives. I think our society confines us and keeps us from experiencing freedom, and then on top of that, makes us feel ridiculous when we yearn for it. I think we were meant for freedom- maybe that means that we were meant to experience the unknown and be ok with that, ok with not knowing all the answers.
